The Skiers' Guide to Avoriaz

Fabulous family resort that suits all ages and abilities. We’ve skied as a family since our kids were 4&6 and they’re now 19 & 21 and it’s still a great time! Plenty apres ski options as well.

Loved Avoriaz, great vibe and superb range of skiing. La Folie Douce is, of course, a brilliant end to a day on the slopes

I went to Avoriaz with a group of friends, despite having accommodation slightly far apart it was still super easy to meet up and eat out together every night. We made full use of the ski area and absolutely loved our time in Avoriaz. We’d love to go back and had the best trip together!

Great resort with a wide range of accommodation to suit your budget. Really good range of runs with great access to the slopes direct from most of the accommodation

An amazing resort. You’ll never realise how good until you visit! Friends of ours said this and we didnt believe them, but now we’re 100% convinced and will return again soon!

Love avoriaz, amazing slopes. Lots of runs and options. Never bored when exploring. We love the bars on the slopes. And the folie is great for acres. Everything we want in one place

Thought we would get some Easter skiing in .never done it before ,but a resounding success
Decent enough snow and surprisingly quiet

Fantastic ski resort with a good mix of runs. Family friendly. Fantastic food and drink everywhere! Horse and carriages everywhere which is particularly magical!

Good resort for myself, an experienced skier and my girlfriend’s first ski holiday. Snow and piste quality was good and the lifts were well managed.

Avoriaz was both romantic and adventurous, going with my girlfriends family it offered us all time together as well as older members to go back to the chalet, while people that wanted to carry on skiing do so. The lifts were great and not much walking was needed. The snow, restaurants and apri ski were all amazing. I hadn’t skied in years and the trip lit the love for it again instantly. Anyone thinking about doing the trip, do it! Don’t second guess it, you’re not gunna regret it.

Great family friendly resort. Loved the pedestrian nature of the town and the food/restaurant options was very good

Love Avoriaz and the Portes Du Soleil and for the size of the area the luft prices arent too bad. Great apres ski at Folie especially during Snowboxx week.

First time in Avoriaz. I thought it was a brilliant all round ski resort. Excellent skiing, lots of different areas for all levels . Plenty of lifts. Well organised. Apres ski was fabulous, and plenty of really good restaurants, again to suit different budgets .Lots to do in town too !
Excellent resort, would definitely recommend go back !

Great terrain, big area. Get the full area access pass and explore the terrain. Great food options everywhere but very expensive.

I went with a friend last minute because I wanted to improve my park skills and it was his first time skiing, I am a boarder. We were incredibly lucky with the amount of snow.

It's an incredible resort for beginners, intermediates & I would say families, even though I did not have my family with me. I will definitely bring my family here one day, it's a beautiful resort that seems to cater well for families.

There are numerous snowparks to choose from for all levels and they were all well maintained.

Super friendly staff and a good vibe overall. You can't go wrong, with quick transfers from Geneva.

I'll definitely be back, this is one of my favourite resorts now, especially for the my ability (just started freestyle at 46) in the park.

honestly this place stole my heart.
Perched at 1800 metres in the heart of the massive Portes du Soleil you get over 600 kilometres of runs stretching into Switzerland. Endless reds and blues let you cruise across borders grab lunch in a Swiss village then ski home again. The north facing slopes keep the snow reliable even late in the season and those wide playful pistes are perfect for building speed and confidence without ever getting dull.
The village feels special. Completely car free with beautiful wooden architecture tumbling down the cliffs. No traffic noise just the sound of skis and the occasional horse drawn sleigh. Everything is ski in ski out which made mornings effortless. Après was lovely warm bars vin chaud live music and that golden glow over the rooftops at sunset.
It suits every level. Gentle nursery slopes right in the village fun parks if youre into jumps and steeper blacks like the Swiss Wall for a proper thrill. The Savoyard food was pure comfort cheesy fondue tartiflette crepes that tasted even better after a long day. And the views across the peaks are breathtaking.

Fantastic resort. An abundance of runs. Could do a different run every day of the week and you still wouldn’t have done all of the larger ski pass

The ski in ski out was amazing and I highly recommend to anyone of abilities. The range of slopes and restaurants, apres bars and water parks meant there’s fun for all ages.

Avoriaz is a pretty, high altitude resort with great links to the lovely Chatel and Morzine. The highlight is watching or riding the horse sleighs and some awesome skiing!

Great for families & all levels of skier / boarder. Massive ski area if you opt for the full pass but there is plenty of variety just in the local area. Close to Geneva airport so a good option for a shorter trip. Love the car free town - it makes for a very chilled stay. Have had lessons with a few snowboard instructors including Burton and MINT - both were excellent. I usually go for self catered accommodation but there are plenty of catered chalets and some hotel options. Can get busy in peak weeks. My favourite French resort by far.
